I know it's possible but does it happen often? Whats the probability that I'd get stuck in the Merchant fleet?
I've been to the site before but the catalogs downloading now. I was on my mobile before.
Um..if you go to the US MERCHANT MARINE Academy…maybe pretty high? Think it through…choose wisely…rock at whatever you do and wherever you go.I know it's possible but does it happen often? Whats the probability that I'd get stuck in the Merchant fleet?
I also know people personally who have gone there and had good things to say about it. So cross commisioning out of there would be pretty difficult?Um..if you go to the US MERCHANT MARINE Academy…maybe pretty high? Think it through…choose wisely…rock at whatever you do and wherever you go.
That said, the US Merchant Fleet has much to recommend it. I've known many retired Navy officers (some aviators, some SWOs) who went that route later in life. Don't dismiss it out of hand.

As to that…I have no idea. Many years ago, when I was considering a transfer to the Texas Maritime Academy, I was let to believe that all MMA grads would also receive as commission in the USNR. Have no idea as to the validity of that perception...then or now. Would make sense…but no idea.I also know people personally who have gone there and had good things to say about it.
